Hope you had fun reading the Baby series #8 postI am back after a break of two blog posts as I had some last minute shipping to do. I promise, you will soon have your eyes on it.Yay! We are here at the final page of the baby book. Since I missed two posts, I decided to give you a bundle on this one. This post has the last pages and a video coming up. For those of you who are on a time crunch or have missed the baby series posts, scroll down to the end of this post for the video and the links to the other posts from this series.Check out this page with 12 months of the baby and the cute clock denoting the time of birth.

You can move the hands of the clock to set the time of birth and cherish that moment forever.

The page below is the end cover page and can hold a picture of the whole family and has a huge pocket below.

The end cover of the book has the same wood grain finish as the front. I just love this finish.

Moving on to the video, I just want to let you all know that its my first time recording a video for you guys. So please take it easy on me as I promise to do better with the audio quality next time. Please watch the video and let me know what you thought. Leave me a comment on my blog, youtube or Facebook page and it will mean a lot to me.

Also, let me know if you liked the speed of the video or you would like it shorter. I would like to thank you all for watching my series and hope you enjoyed.

This post is for the expecting moms wondering how to stay calm while their baby is going to come any day now or for their friends attending baby showers and wondering what to gift their glowing friend with the baby bump.

Baby Album

Nope, it’s not one of those generic baby planners which forces you to write what they have predesigned for your rockstar baby. This is tailored to what you want to see in a baby book. You want it as a planner? Done! You want it as a photo album? Done! You want it to hold hospital tags of your baby and act as a photo album too? Done & Done!

All you have to do is tell me what you want each page of your baby book to hold. I will make it happen for you.

This baby book is for a dear friend who is gifting it to her sister in law. She saw so many books online and took ideas from EVERYWHERE and came to me. We sat together and tailored it to the mother’s expectations. I plan on showing you this book in 3 or 4 parts as it has so much details on each page that you don’t want to miss it.

So here it comes:

Cover Page

I made the front and back of the book look like wooden board. It’s a wooden patterned paper. The four little boxes on top that says BABY are 4 tiny little shakers.

Front Cover Page

Here’s a closer look at the shakers. Inside the shakers we have tiny colorful hearts and stars to match the color of the whole page.

(Excuse the bad lighting.)

The banner below that is for the mom to write the baby’s name on it to make it more personalized. There is a picture frame below the name banner for a picture of the little one.

Now coming to the dimensions of the book. This is a 8.5 x 10 inches chipboard book which means every page is chipboard; not just the front and the back covers. It is ring bound and convenient for the parents to add even random things like an outgrown onesie of the baby may be.

Come on in and see the inside pages.

Inside Cover & 1st Page

The page on the left is the inside cover. It opens like a card and top of the card has lyrics of “Twinkle twinkle little star” written on it. Guess what? It even sings the song for you.

Hope you had fun reading the Baby series #1 post. Now that we have our invitations out of the way, lets move on to planning some awesome party. Gifts and pampering is assured. But to make the Baby shower a success we need to redress our space to make our guests feel like partying. So here’s our party favor cupcake holders to get the party rollin’.

This cupcake holder is the PURRRFFEECTTT way to say “Bun in the oven” or should i say “Cupcake in the oven”. These are pink in color as I made them for a darling friend who bakes some yummilicious cupcakes. She ordered a baby book (Hint: Coming next in the series *wink*) and i thought won’t it be just awesome for her to bake one of her handmade cupcakes and give it to the expecting mom inside this warm oven? For those of you wondering how big this is, the dimensions of this box is 3 x 3 x 3 inches. It is sturdy enough to hold a cupcake and even cookies as my baker friend suggested. If you want to add a TON of frosting on your cupcake and want me to make the dimensions bigger I can absolutely do it for you.

The oven door has a clear sheet on it to keep the cupcake safe and also allows a little sneak peak of what flavors you like. I have added Congratulations to the handle of the oven door as this is a box for the mother. But if you want it for a baby shower we can make it say anything you want, like my friend wants some of these and might want to put her shop name on it (she is still deciding on that). The back side of the oven has space for a little personal message too.

These cupcake boxes are not exclusively for baby showers. They can even be a birthday party favor or you can add little candies inside for friends to carry with them when they leave. And yes my indian friends, it can hold indian sweets too.

When you know your friend or a family member is expecting a baby, you just wanna hug them and congratulate them. A even better way to spread this joy is by giving them a congratulations card.

This card is a pretty pink and brown combination and brings out so much cuteness with fours onesies hanging from a string. Pink and brown I feel is the perfect combo for a baby and mom card.

I used little safety pins as background and they have a glossy finish to it. The brown background is textured too. The banner wishing “Congratulations on your new bundle of joy” is fastened using two gold brads. This is a top folding card and can hold a personal message for the new parents inside.

This card can be a very nice way to announce your new arrival to your friends and family. If you already know your baby’s gender we can even switch these colors to the one’s you like or may be add your little ones name on it. Imagine sending out these cards to invite your friends to your baby shower.
